What is Treximet?
Treximet is a tablet containing a combination of sumatriptan and naproxen. Naproxen is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID). Sumatriptan is a migraine headache medicine.
Treximet is used to treat migraine headaches. This medicine will only treat a headache that has already begun. It will not prevent headaches or reduce the number of attacks.
Treximet should not be used to treat cluster headaches or any headache that causes loss of movement on one side of your body.
Warnings
You should not use Treximet if you have heart problems, uncontrolled high blood pressure, blood circulation problems, Wolff-Parkinson-White Syndrome, a history of heart attack or stroke, severe liver disease, a history of severe allergic reaction to aspirin or an NSAID, or if you are in late pregnancy.
Naproxen can increase your risk of fatal heart attack or stroke. Do not use Treximet just before or after heart bypass surgery (coronary artery bypass graft, or CABG). Naproxen may also cause stomach or intestinal bleeding, which can be fatal.
Get emergency medical help if you have signs of a heart attack or stroke: chest pain spreading to your jaw or shoulder, sudden numbness or weakness on one side of the body, slurred speech, feeling short of breath.
